TRYING SOMETHING NEW HERE: I'VE MADE A FORUM. LET'S SEE IF THIS WORKS...?

/myforums/InkMaster27/5404665/

Here's the link, let's chat about what's going on lately, my friends. If you have friends or know anyone else that also follow my stories, it'd be nice if you could share them the link so they can figure out what's going on as well. I have a feeling posting news and stuff via profile isn't working out all that nicely. XD Hopefully this works, if not, I'll have to figure out another way to communicate directly to my readers...

Hey person, you found it. A profile. About the writer... either you really wanna know more about me, or you have nothing better to do. Which is alright I guess, so allow me to humor you:

Peanut butter is great, but nutella is better. FIGHT ME.

Socks are an ingenious invention, albeit completely unnecessary. Think about it... they're literally mittens, only for your feet. #BlessWhoeverMade'Em

If it isn't obvious, I like writing... something less obvious would be drawing, knitting, crocheting, singing Disney songs, and being extra.

Sweet or sour? Sour. Spicy or mild? Spicy. Summer or winter? Summer. Casual or showy? Casual. Dogs or cats? Dogs. Ramen or pho? WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME? THEY'RE BOTH GRADE A, QUALITY FOOD.

Chickens legit hate me, I was chased by one as a child... it's probably because they can smell the blood of their kinsmen on my hands, I do love me some good chicken...

Someone once asked me if the people I ever talk about are my only friends... it still haunts me to this day. #TFWYouHaveNoFriends

Captain Obvious here: I like Naruto. Among many other things. Current obsession: Voltron the Legendary Defender (the remastered version that's on Netflix right now, check it out if you're looking for that perfect blend between Transformers and Power Rangers.)

Do I have a job? I wish. Am I in college? Soon enough. What is the meaning to life? Jesus. Jesus is always the answer.

Before you ask, yes, I am crazy. You already figured that out? Okay cool, that makes things less awkward.

My online persona is the polar opposite of how I act in person. Online, I am a proud, roaring lion prowling the wilderness of life... behind the screen, I am a kitten dressed in a lion hoodie meowing about why seafood is so good.

How to Catch InkMaster27: Step 1) Rig up some chicken to a trap. Step 2) Congrats, you've caught yourself a wild InkMaster27. Step 3) If all else fails, rig up some sushi, she'll come screaming.

I once had a life before Fanfiction... or did I? *shrugs* Oh well, who cares.

Whenever I'm beginning to hate someone, I just channel that hatred elsewhere... :) FLIES CAN JUST GO DIE IN A BURNING HOLE OF HELL

Most humans are composed of 60% of water... as for me, I'm 60% Dr. Pepper.

I regret nothing in my life... except maybe one thing... okay fine, two... I'm sorry, I lied to you, I regret many things, like being on Fanfiction. (JK, I'm complete Fanfiction trash, what's there to regret other than being completely cringy?) ;P

I am trash, but that's okay I guess. My friends haven't tried to kill me yet, that or they're doing a horrible job at it. XD

ON THE TOPIC OF...!

WORK ETHIC: If I'm at my best, I do well. If I'm feeling great, I do awesome. If I've been fed, I do stellar. Needless to say, I usually do well considering I'm very self-motivated at times. However, there are lapses in my life where I feel stressed out, tired, and or bored with life that I start to wind down with productivity for a little self-reflection. In context of my writing, I consider myself a hard worker, considering each chapter I've ever written has been 11 pages plus in the Word document with 11 pt font, Calibri.

GOING MIA: Okay, I'm not going to lie, this happens more often than I'd like to confess. Literally, I've been gone for up to a year now. I don't mean to just disappear on my readers, it's just (get this) I have a life (haha, funny right?) to attend to with daily commitments and priorities to handle, so no, I'm not always around to post new chapters. Sometimes, I have what's called a writer's block. Meaning, I have either no inspiration or motivation to continue a story to the best of my ability, so I tend to take a break to realign my story's plot and get back into my groove. Long story short, I go missing a lot, and it'll most likely be because I've engaged myself in mortal combat with life itself, ran off to find and lock inspiration in its cage again, or, God forbid it, the chickens finally managed to murder me. XD

REQUESTS: I haven't been asked about this yet, but just in case someone out there is wondering about it, here you go: I don't mind taking up requests via PMs to write you guys a short story and whatnot, just do understand I might not have the time to get around to doing it. If I haven't made it clear, I take my personal responsibilities very seriously and I will leave Fanfiction as I deem necessary to handle them, so if you're expecting a speedy write up, I can't make any promises. If there's one thing I've learned as a Fanfiction writer, it's to NEVER make promises to your readers: because then we become more prone to break them and disappoint readers even more than they would've been without the author's assurance.

WHAT'S GOING ON? [05/17/2018]

tentatively knocks on internet's door* Hi... it's been two years... am I in trouble???

Hey guys! I know it's been an awful lot of time since I was back here (literally, two years, my God, life flies by) and I just wanted to reiterate two things:

1) I'm not dead (although eternal sleep sounds AMA-ZING, I choose life)

2) Yes, I am going to finish the current stories I am writing

Hopefully you read my last profile statement explaining why I was gone during 2017, but uh yeah, I have no excuse for 2018. I was quite literally preoccupied with, get this, LIFE. I know, crazy, right?!

No, seriously though, I get that I haven't been in the loop lately and it seemed like I went TOTALLY off the grid, but I just wanted to drop a friendly reminder that I'm still alive (thank GOD) and still willing to write. My current plans are to complete "Someone Worthwhile" and "Indefinite Relations" the first chance I get, so do please excuse me as I take a little longer to get around to doing so.

I'm about 45% finished with the latest chapter for "Someone Worthwhile" and about 75% finished with the latest chapter for "Indefinite Relations." So no worries, I have something in the works, it'll just take a bit cuz I gotta reestablish where I last left off and work my way back into my groove.

Sorry for the scare y'all, if you thought I was dead and all, but nah, this li'l bugger is here to stay for a good while, because I HATE having unfinished business. Anyway, just wanted to pop in and let you guys know I'm still around, and I will be back with another update!!

Still breathing, InkMaster27
